SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 311,815, dated February3,1885.

Appiieation filed July 19, 158-). ()To model.)

To caZZ whom 112! may concern,-

Be it known that I, ZEBULON DAVIS, of Canton, in the county of Stark andState of Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Burners f'orHeating Purposes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it,reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms part ofthis specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in vapor-burners which aredesigned for heating purposes; and it consists, first, in a burnerhaving two arms which are connected by means of a web for the flame tostrike against; sec- 0nd, in a vapor-burner provided with two as to forma second arm, K.

arms, one or both of which are provided with suitable flanges whichextend along the arm, for the purpose of distributing heat to all partsof the burner, as will be more fully described hereinafter.

The object of my invention is to provide a vapor-burner which isspecially designed for heating purposes, and which has its two armsdoubled so as to pass directly over the top of the flame, and connectedby means of a web, against which the flame catches in such a manner thatit is not readily blown out, and in which flanges are placed upon thearms of the burner, so as to conduct the heat evenly to all those partswhere the vaporization of the fluid takes place.

The accompanying drawing represents a side elevation of a burnerembodying my invention.

B represents the stand-pipe, from the top of which rises the arm or tubeK. This arm or tube K extends upward a suitable distance, and is bent atright angles, so as to pass over the top of the flame, and is bentdownward, so Through these two'arms the fluid passes on its way to theneedle-point, where it is vaporized by the heat. The lower end of thatarm, K, which is not connected directly to the top of the stand-pipeforms a support both for the horizontal plugvalve D and the needle-valveH.

cup 0 is made to surround the upper end of the stand-pipe B and thelower part of the needleharrel through which the needle passes.

The drip-.

Upon the stand-pipe B and the needle-barrel is formed the inclinedflange S, which conducts the oil to the drip-cup, which oil, in startingthe burner, flows down the socket-leg of the burner. The rib runs aroundthe socket and intercepts all flow down the socket below it, and servesto conduct the oil directly into the cup. The plug needle-valve D isused both to regulate the size and force of the flame, to extinguish it,and to fill the drip-cup in starting the burner.

In order to afford a surface for the flame to impinge upon, and thusprevent the flame from being readily pufled or blown out, the two arms Kare connected together by means of a web, A, which is preferably castas'a part of the arms. This web, of any size or form, extends acrossfrom onearm to the other, and directly over the top of the flame. Theflame clings to this web by frictional contact to such an extent thatthe flame, when turned down, cannot be easily accidentally extinguished.This web also serves to deflect the flame against the two arms K K, soas to assist in the va porization of the fluid.

In order to conduct the heat evenly to all parts of the burner where thevaporization takes place, suitable flanges or ribs, O, are formed uponthe arms K K, and which may project outward at any suitable angle. Theseflanges become heated by the flame, and then serve to conduct the heatevenly along the upper ends by a suitable pipe or connection,

which pipe and connection form a suitable conduit for the oil or vapor,and which arms are united together by a web which extends across abovethe top of the flame, substantial] y as shown.

2. A vapor-burner having the two arms K K, which project a suitabledistance above the flame, and which-are united together at their upperends by means of a suitable pipe, whicharms and pipe form a conduit forthe oil, and which arms are connected together I by means of a web, A,and provided with W'itnesses: suitable Webs, O, which extend along downi MYRoN T. HERRIOK, the sides of the arms, substantiallyas set forth.RICHARD M. PARMELY.

In testimony whereof I a-ffix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

ZEBULON DAVIS.
